Zhou's Curse

★ Road-trip story ★ There isn't enough to read, so I'm making my own. Length unknown. Heaven's Revelation Jade, the Star-Picking Tower. When the Gate of Death opens, the emperor will come. The Wen family ancestors were grave robbers. After they robbed King Zhou's tomb, they were cursed: their descendants would never live past twenty-five unless they gathered all seven Heaven's Revelation Jades, opened the Gate of Death at the Star-Picking Tower, and summoned the dead back. Wen Xun is a graduating archaeology student at S University. She's already twenty-four, and the curse is gradually taking effect. First her veins bulge and turn bluish red. Then she coughs up blood at the slightest breeze. She won't live another year unless she follows her ancestors' instructions and finds all seven jades. She thought she would have to face this battle alone, but fate brought her companions and a lover. With them by her side, even the destruction of the world and the end of the universe would no longer frighten her. Note: 1. I'm a fan of King Zhou, but since I've written him as the source of a curse, this definitely isn't from a fan's point of view. Also, after he becomes a ghost and returns, he'll be consumed by resentment and inevitably turn evil. 2. The curse can ultimately be broken without harming any "people." [Preview: Slightly creepy] Noble Academy's Cannon Fodder and the Dual-Personality Male Lead It's her senior year of high school, and Wen Xiang only wants to study hard and get into a top university. But the System tells her she'll be plagued by misfortune if she doesn't win over the male lead. The so-called male lead has a severe split personality and dissociative identity disorder. His primary personality is as cold as ice, while his secondary personality is as gentle as water. To speedrun the mission, Wen Xiang has no choice but to go after the more easygoing secondary personality [I'm such a master planner.jpg]. Just as expected, the secondary personality falls for her and they become a couple. Then the cunning Wen Xiang uses all the proof that she's dating the secondary personality to get close to the primary one. She melts the ice around the primary personality's heart, too. Everything goes according to her plan, until something unexpected happens: the clever secondary personality discovers her "affair" with the primary personality and turns evil. Secondary personality: "I was the one who met you first... I'll take complete control of this body, drive him to the edge of consciousness, and make sure he can never see you again." The story also features demonic twins, a Cinderella with a yuri flavor, a winter-sports F4, a woman disguised as a man, a man disguised as a woman, yandere lunatics, mystery and crime, and a touch of cosmic horror, among other elements. --This is a world made up of four books. They are titled The Gray Maid of the Demon Twins, The Handsome Prince and the School Beauty, The School Flower Is Actually a Handsome Man, and The Student Council's Two-Faced President and His Healing Assistant.
